(F1 x n1/100) + (F2 x n2/100) + (F3 x n3/100) = N
(F1 x p1/100) + (F2 x p2/100) + (F3 x p3/100) = P
(F1 x k1/100) + (F2 x k2/100) + (F3 x k3/100) = K
Where:
F1 = Ounces of the first fertilizer (this is unknown)
n1, p1, k1 = The NPK values for that fertilizer from the table
(or the bag)
F2 = Ounces of the second fertilizer (this is unknown)
n2, p2, k2 = The NPK values for that fertilizer from the table
(or the bag)
F3 = Ounces of the third fertilizer (this is unknown)
n3, p3, k3 = The NPK values for that fertilizer from the table
(or the bag)
N = Ounces of nitrogen needed per 100 sq. ft
P = Ounces of phosphorus needed per 100 sq. ft
K = Ounces of potassium needed per 100 sq. ft
This looks far more complicated than it really is. Repeating
the prior example, using a combination of soybean meal
(fertilizer 1), bone meal (fertilizer 2), and greensand (fertilizer
